Yesterday, Brandon Sanderson posted his State of the Sanderson 2016: his comprehensive review of the past year of writing projects, including a rundown of future projects planned. It’s a lot for readers to sink their teeth into, from completing the first draft of Oathbringer (book 3 of The Stormlight Archive) to the Writing Excuses cruise to his next YA series, The Apocalypse Guard. (You can check out some concept art and character designs above.) Check out the entire State of the Sanderson to find out what 2017 has in store.

This morning’s publishing roundup also looks ahead to 2017 with free comic books, while reflecting on the books that got us through this year.
